I'm still filling the forms right now. I will be filling in single right there not even in a domestic relationship. Then if asked if I have misinterpreted... I would click Yes and state the wrong information I supplied not married as I stated in my previous DS-160 I guess I'm good to go with that.. I don't want any issues or headache... cc@ LadyG, Seyewest, LagosNIV, AbujaNIV, OmoBendel24 and other prof in the house. |

Thank you all for helping me out with our appointment booking. I discovered that just within 3 days of not being able to successfully book an appointment a lot has changed in booking dates. Although I successfully booked but the dates is farther than we expected. My question is how do I monitor appointment dates and time to monitor so that I can rescheduled another dates. Thank you God bless you all. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Nobody: 9:35pm On Oct 30, 2017 |
seyewest:Thanks, I can send her a copy of that. I was thinking though, that they probably already have my records already since she mentioned me in her application. That's totally fine. Oh, thank you. It is perfectly legal and accepted. My visa is active, until I am done with my program. |

goodman31: You have seen date you are still asking for how to monitor date and time! you think date and time will be waiting for you abi? the one you saw and claims is farther will be child's play by time you finish monitoring appointment date and time to monitor so that you can reschedule another dates. ![]() You better book your date now if you dont want to monitor till next year |

Hi there, so my storey is, I intend to travel to America some time next year with my wife, she's been there couple of times for holidays, the issue is, I have never travelled to Europe or any western country, the only countries I have been to are Ghana and the UAE. So can the house kindly advice me on steps to take in order to get a visa to America for holiday, having in mind that the British refused me visa, because they said that the funds in my account was more than what I was earning. Plus as at when I applied and submitted my documents was 3 weeks to my wedding so I had friends and relatives giving me cheques and cash. Kindly advice on what to do. Regards. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Hello Good people. I'm one of the silent readers and observers. First I would like to thank you guys so much for your immense contribution to this forum Especially LadyG, Omobendel, Seyewest etc. This is my second attempt having applied once previously in 2013 and was refused. I Read about the black lady in window 5 (now 6) that refuses a lot of visa and she truly lived to her expectation.All the while I stood in line, she did not dish out 1 single white paper. So back to the matter, Interview was for 8.45am Me: Good morning Vo: Good morning, may I have your passport Vo: Why are you going to the us Me: I'm going for vacation and tourism Vo: Have you travelled before Me : yes, to the UK and Dubai Vo: Do you have your old passport that has the UK visa with you Me: Yes,passed the expired passport with expired UK visas. Vo goes thru checking the dates Vo: when was the last time you visited UK Me: it's been a while, 2010 (I went to dubai twice in 2015 and 2016 but Vo did not ask anything about the dubai trip) Vo: What were you in UK for Me: for vacation Vo: are you single or married Me: I'm single, but I'm engaged Vo : okay Vo: What do you do Me: Im the managing director of bla bla bla and I also own a real estate company on the side where I market and purchase properties on behalf of clients Vo: (types for a while) you said you are the marketing manager for bla bla bla? Me: No, I own bla bla bla Vo : oh okay Vo: where in the us are you going? me: New York Vo: how long are you staying for me: 10 days Vo : (still typingggg) are you like traditionally married? me: No,I'm just engaged Vo : repeated what I said , just engaged me: nodding in the affirmative, yes Vo: (started typing again,longer than previous typing) Do you know anyone in the US? Me:No Where are you going in the US Me:I answered again, New York Vo: And what do you intend to do while there? Me: I intend to visit some tourist attractions... Vo: (cuts it) like which places Me: like empire state building, times square, one world observatory... Vo: Okay.. Me: (I was on a roll) Statue of liberty,central park, 5th avenue.... Vo: Okay okay Vo:How much do you have for this trip including cost of ticket Me:1.5M Vo: will you be seeking medical treatement on this trip Me: shook my head left and right while saying No at the same time Vo: Okay I'm approving your visa.....I honestly didn't hear the rest , only saw her hand and the white paper. She gave me back my old passports and I was even asking her for the recent one coz I forgot she had to hold on to that for the visa. It was when she started laughing that it clicked which I also bust out laughing. As she said have a nice day which I responded and you too! While laughing on my way out lol my profile,I'm 34 yrs, female, engaged. Have two businesses and earn 600k plus per month. Although she didn't ask me how I much I earned neither did she mention anything about my dubai trip. I guess this time,I was more confident and composed and my circumstances has improved compared to 4yrs ago. And one more thing,the column that asked us to explain why we were refused a US visa. I stated the reasons (insufficient ties) but I also use the column to write that I believe my circumstances has improved ,I've a well settled biz and my whole family is here. Nothing too long,just a simple jara Thank you guys once again and I wish all subsequent applicants best of luck 28 Likes 5 Shares |

CON13: you cant change any inform on the DS160 form once its submitted. Since you are yet to book appoint, fill another form and contact support to update the new DS160 ID then you can book your date. I always advise people to pick interview date before submitting their DS160 forms so they can be sure all is in order. All the best! |

Congratulations. I see the confidence in you defending your job. The VO want to mislead you about your job but you remain strong. All applicants should be ready to defend their jobs and must able to explain what they are going to do in States. Don't be surprise that the VO did not question you on your UAE visa, it's because she is satisfied already with your profile. Lesson for all; Fill your DS 160 form yourself and make sure you give as much as possible details in the section about your job duties. I wish you best vacation in NY. nubiang: 1 Like |

Lee310: Did you misrepresent before? Be careful what you ask for.... There are parts of an application you know will very likely if not definitely come up during interviews, it is better you prepare for and reserve your strength for them. You said you were "married" before, and now you are not due to things not working out and subsequent "breakup", neither can you pick "divorced" as it seems because this isn't documented because of the kind of "marriage" type you were into before if at all I got you right, abi? Despite this whole stuff sounding like a regular lie to me, I think you can fill "single" or even "divorce" and come up with a sound explanation for your choice during the interview. But if what you did previously was that you misrepresented, it's a good path you have chosen to state it as is. Dig? Regards.... |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Tarry(m): 10:25am On Oct 31, 2017 |
Lee310: Yes this is the right thing to do. fill single and state that you misrepresented before because you were in a domestic relationship and you called it marriage. Once you own up to your previous misrepresentation, you still have a chance if your current ties are good |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Nobody: 11:08am On Oct 31, 2017 |
She didn’t get the visa. I don’t have a full transcript cos she’s rather upset but it went something like: *********************** VO: Why are you travelling to the US? Her: I have been invited by my brother and his wife to their traditional wedding and the blessing of their union. This is taking place at *****, close to the home of the bride in line with tradition. My brother is doing his PhD in ***** at the university of *****, hence the contact address on the application. They legally got married on September *, 2017. I am on the bridal train and she has written me a letter of invitation together with the invitation card for the wedding. VO: What do you do for a living? Her: I am an investment analyst working for *****. VO: Have you ever traveled outside Nigeria? Her: No I haven’t VO: How long have you worked for *****? Her: Since Feb 2015, and I’ve gained a lot of valuable experience from the transactions I’ve worked on. VO: Are you married? Her: No I’m single, but I have a brother and his own wife and children, and a father, in Nigeria... VO: (interrupts) Do you have any family in the US? Her: My brother is my only direct relative in the US, but since he is now legally married to *****, she too is my relative. VO: (types away at the computer for a long while) VO: I’m sorry you do not qualify for this application in line with US immigration laws. *********** This is very disappointing. I’m really gutted about how so many people have tricked and cheated the system over the years, and continue to do so, that now genuine and honest people keep getting falsely flagged. |

I know I’m on the wrong thread for this but please who has any pointers for an Oyinbo wife who needs a Nigerian Visa? It’s so hard to find any useful information. Do you know if there is any thread discussing such on Nairaland? Thanks a lot. |
